Shuangxi hugged Zhu Yunwen's thigh and cried out that he would not let Zhu Yunwen cook. He also said that "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen" and had never seen an emperor cooking.
As a result, he was thrown aside by Zhu Yunwen.
Nonsense, I really don’t think I have read the book.
"Mencius: Chapter 1 of King Hui of Liang" says: "A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he can't bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he can't bear to eat its meat. This is why a gentleman is far away from the kitchen."
"Book of Rites Tamamo" also left similar words, "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and there is no flesh and blood in him, so he cannot practice it himself."
Its original intention is to tell the king that he needs to be benevolent and should not advocate or practice killing. It has nothing to do with "shameless cooking".
Besides, why have you never seen an emperor in the kitchen?
When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar, did he cook the food himself?
I picked wild vegetables from the roadside for a midnight snack. How could I not cook?
Liu Yi whimpered and kowtowed, blood was coming out, and he was still saying something. Shang Shanjian was sorry for the emperor. As long as the emperor said a word, he would immediately find a rope and cut himself off.
Cooking a meal is a lot of work.
Zhu Yunwen got angry and ordered Shuangxi to stand aside, and arranged for everyone in the Shangshan Supervisor to watch. Then he picked up the knife, threatened Shuangxi who wanted to come over, picked up a carrot and started cutting it.
Shuangxi was stunned.
The people in the Shang Shan Supervisor also stared wide-eyed.
The palace maid on the side opened her mouth and looked motionless.
Can the emperor cut vegetables?
It's strange, how could the emperor be able to chop vegetables, and even cut them into shreds?
fungus?
Lettuce?
Meat?
Oh my god, the emperor actually wants to eat meat during the period of hot mourning?
This is inconsistent with etiquette.
If the civil servants found out, wouldn't it cause a big disturbance?
Shuangxi stared at the people in Shangshan Prison, saying that if anyone dares to leak the secret, just wait and see.
The people in the Shangshan Supervisor had no intention of looking at Shuang Xi's eyes. They were all breaking into cold sweats. If the emperor cut off his hand, they might be killed.
"Make a fire."
Zhu Yun cut the ingredients and put some vinegar in the bowl. He looked at the hard and yellow sugar cubes and sighed.
In the early Ming Dynasty, there was no white sugar.
White sugar appeared during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Later, when Shen Kuo wrote "Tiangong Kaiwu", he specially wrote an article "Gan Xi" to introduce the production method of white rock sugar.
Zhu Yunwen was not sure whether there would be Jiajing in the future, after all, it was from Zhu Di's lineage.
There are still two hundred years between us and Shen Kuo, so it is unreliable to expect the two of them to eat sugar.
Ma Enhui rushed to the Shanshan Supervisor from Chang'an Palace. After entering, she happened to see Zhu Yunwen cooking. She was so shocked that she almost fainted. Looking at the eunuchs, palace maids and Shanshan Supervisor's people with their hands hanging in a daze, Ma Enhui almost ran away.
"Don't be angry, I asked them to stand aside."
Zhu Yunwen filled two portions of the fish-flavored shredded pork, picked out one of the shredded pork, called to the palace maid just now, and ordered: "Give this to Concubine Ning."
The maid thanked her, carefully put it into the food box, and left in a hurry.
"My beloved concubine, come here and have a taste."
Zhu Yunwen greeted Ma Enhui.
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen in confusion and asked uncertainly: "How could the emperor do such a thing?"
Halfway through his words, he finally resisted the word "vile".
Zhu Yunwen picked up the chopsticks, handed them to Ma Enhui, and said: "One porridge and one meal, when you think about where you came from, it is not easy; half a thread, half a thread, always thinking about the difficulty of material resources. These days, I have been thinking that food is the most important thing for people, if Our royal family doesn’t know how to save, so how can we teach the people well?”
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen, gave him a gift, and shouted: "For a porridge and a meal, remember that it is not easy to get there; half a thread, half a thread, always thinking about the difficulty of material resources. Your Majesty, this is a blessing for all people."
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
Shuangxi, Shang Shanjian and others quickly knelt down and shouted.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up. Don't be extravagant and wasteful in the future. If there is nothing special, the number of breakfast and dinner dishes will be reduced from twelve to six, and the lunch will be reduced from twenty-four to ten. Second way."
"Since the emperor has set an example, the harem's meals should also be reduced as appropriate."
Ma Enhui said quickly.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said: "There is no need for the concubines to waste, but the food for the lower-level maids and eunuchs needs to be strengthened, and there must be no less than two dishes. For these dishes, Supervisor Shang Shan will reward them all."
Ma Enhui thanked Zhu Yunwen for his generosity on behalf of the palace maid and the eunuch. With Zhu Yunwen's encouragement, he tasted a bite of fish-flavored shredded pork. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his men speeded up a lot. After eating several mouthfuls, he looked at Zhu Yunwen with embarrassment and sighed. : "Your Majesty, this is what I want for dinner."
"Haha, my beloved, do you want to try to learn from me?"
"Can my concubine also learn?"
"Why not? Liu Yi, prepare the ingredients..."
Zhu Yunwen shouted with a smile.
Outside the Imperial City, next to Desheng Gate, is the Huanyi Bureau.
The palace maid Luo Yan'er leaned against the pillar tiredly, looked up at the night sky, sighed, and her stomach rumbled.
It was so late and no one was allowed to eat. I heard that the female officer in charge was summoned to the palace. I don't know if there was something wrong with the clothes I washed last time or if there was a gift from the palace.
However, it has nothing to do with you.
A humble palace maid can only live a humble life.
Luo Yan'er thought of her father who was killed for being involved in the Lan Yu case, and her mother who committed suicide in unbearable pain. The originally warm home was shattered in an instant.
The second uncle sold himself to the palace, but unfortunately he had no money to spend on it, so he offended the eunuch in charge of the palace, and was eventually assigned to the Clothing Bureau, where he lived a life worse than death, just for the sake of a full meal.
That's all.
However, now the meals are not even on time.
Gulu.
His unsatisfactory stomach rumbled again, and there was a noise outside. It seemed that the palace had arranged a reward.
"Sister Yan'er, sister Yan'er, come quickly."
A palace maid aged seventeen or eighteen appeared from a distance and greeted her loudly.
Luo Yan'er had a stomachache and couldn't get up, so she waved her hand in the distance.
Seeing this, the palace maid turned around and walked out. Not long after, she ran over with two food boxes. With a smile on her face, she placed the food boxes next to Luo Yan'er and said, "Then, This is our dinner."
"Dinner? Qiao Hui, are you making a mistake?"
Luo Yan'er looked at the food box.
Since entering the Huanyi Bureau, I have never used this food box. When I eat, there is always someone to arrange it, and then I enter the compartment next to the big stove. I am late, and I may not have anything to eat, so I will be hungry.
Eating out of a food box?
Unprecedented.
Qiao Hui smiled, hugged her food box and said, "Sister, take a look."
Seeing that Qiao Hui was really happy, Luo Yan'er opened the food box with some confusion and looked at the cabbage on it, which she ate on weekdays. After taking out the cabbage, she saw that there was another dish inside.
Red, green, black, ah?
And meat?
How can this be?
Luo Yan'er looked at Qiao Hui in surprise.
Qiao Hui came to Luo Yan'er's side and opened her own food box. The dishes inside were exactly the same as Luo Yan'er's, and said, "I just heard that this dish is called fish-flavored shredded pork. Delicious food just launched.”
Luo Yan'er swallowed her saliva and asked in confusion: "How could it be possible that Shangshan Supervisor's dishes would come to our Huanyi Bureau?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Hui whispered: "I heard that this dish was invented by the emperor, and he ordered that all maids and eunuchs should have no less than two dishes per meal."
Luo Yan'er was surprised, picked up the chopsticks, tasted it gently, her eyes became moist, and said softly: "Your Majesty's grace..."
